Article Synopsis
  • - VACTERL is an acronym for a group of congenital anomalies, including issues with vertebrae, trachea, anus, heart, kidneys, and limbs, indicating a possible shared cause.
  • - A case study discusses a 28-day-old preterm neonate with suspected VACTERL association who had multiple defects, like vertebral and renal issues, an imperforate anus, and an absent pulmonary artery.
  • - The report highlights the importance of pathologists in identifying fetal anomalies as essential members of a multidisciplinary team involved in managing complex pregnancies with such conditions.

Optimizing materials and associated structures for detecting various environmental gas pollutant concentrations has been a major challenge in environmental sensing technology. Semiconducting metal oxides (SMOs) fabricated at the nanoscale are a class of sensor technology in which metallic species are functionalized with various dopants to modify their chemiresistivity and crystalline scaffolding properties. Studies focused on recent advances of gas sensors utilizing metal oxide nanostructures with a special emphasis on the structure-surface property relationships of some typical n-type and p-type SMOs for efficient gas detection are presented.
